Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract for asbestos removal and enter into contract for the renovation of two air handlers at the Jerry Hammond Center, 1111 East Broad Street. This project is necessary in order to ensure the HVAC equipment operates correctly and the operations housed in the building are not interrupted.
A contract with Carrier Commercial Service will consist of replacing rusted out panels on air handler #1, and replacing coil sections and coils in air handler #3. However, before this work begins a second contract, with Ohio Technical Services, must be modified so that asbestos and related hazardous materials around the air handlers can be removed. Without this contract modification Carrier Commercial Service can not complete its renovation work. The contract with Ohio Technical Services was formally bid through SA002349. The contract term is April 1, 2008 through March 31, 2009.
